Lol I think to a certain degree, I wouldn't be too worried about having too much in hand but it's also luck based, so someone else could win the game faster than you by luck
Obviously you need to play your tiles at some point... but certainly holding on to face tiles is good strategy. And it's nigh impossible for someone to go out when you have a third of the tiles in your hand lol of course it can happen but that'll be the case with any strategy. Your comment is so obvious I'm not sure why you had to make it...?
Omg I love the game they were playing, it's called Rummikub and it is so fun!! The tile hording strategy is actually super effective lol
